Advanced Plan — Evaluation Overview

Advanced Challenge Accounts come in three sizes — $50K, $100K, $150K — designed to showcase your execution under live-like conditions before funding.

The intraday trailing drawdown updates in real time. It’s meant to limit large adverse moves and reinforce disciplined risk management. Passing promotes you to the Advanced Simulated Funded account.

Lightning Funded Accounts

What is it? A Lightning Funded account lets you bypass the usual multi-step challenges and begin in a Simulated Funded environment immediately — so profits can start counting toward a payout from day one.

• Available sizes: $25K, $50K, $100K, $150K.
• One-time activation fee (no recurring fees after activation).
• Uses an EOD trailing max drawdown based on end-of-day balance.
• Consistency rule: 20% — designed to reward steady performance.

Because the drawdown is calculated at day’s end, intraday swings won’t immediately adjust the threshold — making it easier to hold trades without tripping the drawdown due to temporary fluctuations.

Optional Data/Subscriptions

Lightning accounts themselves don’t bill monthly, but optional services (e.g., market data tiers) may. CME Level 1 is often included; Level 2 and other add-ons are extra via your Tradovate settings.

Advanced & Growth — Payout Policy

Minimum Balances Needed

Timing & Processing

• Request a payout any time after all requirements are satisfied.
• Once marked APPROVED, the account is debited immediately and payment typically arrives within 24 hours.
